I got a call from Stewart's friend Robert last night. I guess Stewart is not doing well. He had this COPD thing going on for the last couple of years. He's still smoking and wears an oxygen supply and smokes in bed. A real recipe for disaster. Robert tells me that Stewart's mind is going and he can't remember how to turn on the computer anymore. He doesn't want contact from friends either and basically told Robert he didn't want his help or need it. It's really sad to see a great guy like Stewart slipping away like that.

Stewart introduced me to Hemi Fred and the Missile gang and also to Robert, so he has been a great friend to me. He's given me all kinds of posters and CDs of various Hemi cars including some of the Mopar Missile construction photos he got from Oldfield. My prayers go out to Stewart for a recovery.
